All I Want For Xmas Is The Season To End

The Dolphins put up another stinker by losing 30-14 against the San Diego Chargers, and it was a game that the Dolphins never had a chance to win. They came out flat and were down 23-0 by halftime, and injuries to offensive lineman left the offensive line in complete shambles – beyond the complete shambles they normally are. The Dolphins only have 2 more games remaining, which means two more ugly games remaining until the off-season purge begins – thankfully!

 

After watching this last game, it is extremely clear that the Dolphins have given up on the season, and the only thing fans can be excited about is that with two more losses on their record. Likely, the Dolphins may end up with a top 5 Draft pick – so sad isn’t it?!  The Dolphins invested a lot of money into this 2015 team, and they even mortgaged some of the future salary cap, which in hindsight now looks like a terrible decision because this team has regressed and appears to be in for a tough couple of years.

 

There are so many issues with this team that is going to be an extremely tough job for any coach to correct them – regardless of who the next HC is.  Most football gambling fans are betting that the Dolphins are going to make a strong push after New Orleans head coach Sean Payton.  He may be one of the better coaches available, however, even with having Drew Brees as his QB, he is still having an extremely difficult past two seasons.  So, I find it hard to believe he will be able to turn this franchise around anytime soon- it takes both personnel and coaching

 

Sadly, most Fin Fans have the dreaded feeling that the Dolphins are going to be the laughing stock of the AFC East for many years to come.  The Patriots are going to be a very good football team as long as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are around, and both look poised to be around for at least another 3 more years.  The Bills have a young QB, who in his first year starting appears far ahead of Tannehill in terms of being an effective QB in the NFL – although he has a better line and a pure stud at WR. In addition, the Bills have a lot of young talent on their roster, so they will at least be competitive in years to come.  Lastly, the Jets have a coach that the Dolphins decided to part ways with in Todd Bowles.  Since leaving Miami Bowles has been an assistant coach in winning organizations, and he now has finally found a head coaching position in New York- in ONE season he was able to turn the Jets around into being a winning football team.  Compounding the irony, the Jets do not even have a great QB, which means if they can find a better QB, they have the chance to actually be one of the better teams in the entire AFC in the next few years.

 

The bottom line is this was supposed to be one of the best Dolphin’s teams that we have seen in many years, and instead, this team has played even worse than any Dolphin team has played in the last 5 years.  This organization needs either a new owner, or the current owner to have a true epiphany. However, with Stephen Ross investing even more money in the stadium, it is highly unlikely that he is going to sell this team any time soon and history rarely fails to repeat itself.  Hope must be held onto, but reality can’t be dismissed: anything is possible, but likely it will be awhile before this organization actually gets back to the playoffs. What are the thoughts of the rest of the Miami Dolphins News fans?
